      2. In the Access type field, select an access type.
         • Select Trap to allow all hosts in the community to receive traps.
         • Select Get to allow all hosts in the community to receive traps and query management information base (MIB) objects.
         • Select Set to allow all hosts in the community to receive traps, query, and set MIB objects.
   3. In the Host Name or IP Address field, enter the host name or IP address of each community manager.
